Quaffing a '''potion of cure mutation''' will immediately remove 0-7 random [[mutations]], heavily weighted towards 3-5, from your character:

{| class="prettytable" cellpadding="8" border="1"
|- align="center"
! # Removed
! 0 !! 1 !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 5 !! 6 !! 7
|-
! Probability (%)
| 0.05 || 1.0 || 6.3 || 19.8 || 32.2 || 27.4 || 11.4|| 1.8
|}

It removes both good and bad mutations, but mutations innate to your species (e.g. [[Draconian]]'s scales, [[Naga]]'s slow movement, [[demonspawn mutation]]s) can never be removed.

==Strategy==
These potions are very rare and very valuable. Some bad mutations, such as [[teleportitis]] and [[Blurry Vision]], can outright kill you. Save these potions for when you have unbearable mutations - don't waste them trying to cure -2 Str or -2 Int (unless you're at risk of [[stat zero]]).

Prevention is better than the cure. You might not find any cure mutation potions for a long time, and even if you do, there's a chance it might not remove the mutation you want. The less mutations you receive, the less you'll need to rely on these potions.
*Try to prevent [[Malmutate]] from targeting you, e.g. have [[allies]] between you and the malmutator. See the [[Malmutate#Strategy|Malmutate]] article for more details.
*Have sources of [[mutation resistance]] in places where malmutation is common.

If you don't have any cure mutation, and desperately need a mutation gone, you can try quaffing [[potions of mutation]]. This might result you being even worse off than you are, characters with many bad mutations are more likely to have ''some'' removed.

== History ==
*Potions of cure mutation and [[potions of beneficial mutation]] were merged into [[potions of mutation]] in [[0.20]].
*Prior to [[0.18]], potions of cure mutation were slightly less common.
